Section 22-11E-1 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature finds the following: (1)
Concussions are one of the most commonly reported injuries in children and adolescents who
participate in sports and recreational activities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
estimates that as many as 3,900,000 sports-related and recreation-related concussions occur
in the United States each year. A concussion is caused by a blow or motion to the head or

or death is significant when a concussion or head injury is not properly evaluated and managed.

or recreational activity and can result from a fall or from participants colliding with each
other, the ground, or with obstacles. Concussions occur with or without...
